Hi Bruce! I was also inclined to not participate in the audition due to time constraints and other factors, however I changed my mind due to the following reasons: First, I already had three pieces memorized from my older Faber books, due to the fa

How 'bout if we go after the music publishers? In addition to our huge cash settlement publishers could be required to print a warning like the "HOT" warning on coffee to go cups. Maybe something like: Caution: music inside, skilled hand

Thanks a lot, Michael, for your extensive reply! I really appreciate your help! I'll first try and interface with the keybed controller. I'll try and hookup an Arduino to the TX/RX lines and see what I can discover. The GET and NEXT line of the keyb

It is a journey and we are not alone. There are ups and downs in the learning and the motivation and the success. Talking about the learning makes it more fun and sometimes helps us discover ways around the obstacles.

I guess ur rt. I should save my pennies and buy a good Mason upright 50. (I just purchased the Kawai). I think I'm better off getting it tuned, regulated, and voiced and call it a day. No use in trying to make my Honda into a Chevy.

I've looked all over the web but can't find a

I guess I'm the only one, then? I'll update on my progress, mostly to keep myself accountable! I've completed all lessons in Level 4 and just need to do the three song performance to move onto Level 5. One song, The Rakes of Mallow, is really kicki
